Dear editor,
After reading Cindy Wood’s letter concerning “safety issues” while skating, all I could do is shake my head.
This is a classic case of someone needing to mind their own business and let people live their lives the way they want.
There is no need to implement new rules, just because of someone’s preconceived worst-case scenario issues. Carrying one’s child anywhere comes with risks. Should we ban it everywhere, or should all children wear helmets 24/7, just to be safe? Is there a history of dropped babies at public skating?
Of course not, because, surprisingly parents seem to know how to protect them without more rules brought on by “safety nannies”.
Live and let live Cindy. You will feel better for it.Greg Thoms,Georgetown
